Ayden took off his gloves energetically and showed Akito his hand. On one of the fingers was the black circle. He's owned the circle since he was a kid. He was aware that his father was responsible for the ring. He had despised him from the beginning and saw him as an unwanted child. Ayden had carried the curse for almost 10 years. It wasn't that he didn't have a talent for magic. It was slowly stolen from him until his mana was completely destroyed. Akito realized what could have happened to him. He, too, mourned after him, for he had other thoughts. If he could have combined his swordplay with magic, Ayden would have become an undefeatable monster. To cheer him up, he gave him a gift. Akito had thought about how Ayden could get on without any problems. So he cursed his sword with black magic. This was passive magic that Ayden could also use. The stronger the hatred, the sharper the blade. He had put a part of himself into the sword. Now was the perfect opportunity to test the sword. Ayden concentrated on the sword. Suddenly a vortex of black flames circled around the sword, then it began to burn. He tried the blade on a small rock. When the sword hit the stone, all you could hear was the sound of the flames. The rock was cut up without any problems and only black burn marks remained. Both were amazed and at the same time satisfied with the result. So you could destroy almost any armor with this sword. The exception were magical objects and equipment.
